How many graphics cards ?

hey guys this is probably a really stupid question but I was wondering I am looking at buying a mac pro and I was reading about it and it says it has 3 PCI slots but it can have up tow 4 graphics cards in it. So my question is how can it have 4 graphics cards in it?

The number of graphics cards you can have is limited by the available power which is 300 watts for GPUs. You could handle four of the 2600 cards but only two of the 8800s (I think they require 110 watts each.) Each card supports two monitors.

How many egift cards for one order?

I had emailed customer service asking how many egift cards could be used for one online order, and I was told you could use 5 per online order, and 10 in store. But then I saw this link in the customer service catagory, and it says you can use 10 gift cards per online order.

How Many Travel Cards?

Was just approved on Saturday for Cap One Venture and have had a CSP since Feb. 2012. Love the CSP and even without the travel benefits the daily rewards more than cover the AF so it's just not something I worry too much about. I'm planning on not applying for anything in the next 6 months at least. Scores are high 600s currently but I have a few things happening in the next few months that should give my scores a pretty nice bump and I'll only have the inquiries (triple pull) from the Venture that I just got. My question to you all here is (and I've already gotten some SUPER helpful information so THANK YOU), how many travel cards is too many? To those that have several, do you find yourselves sticking to one card? We do travel at least a couple of times a year which is why I've gotten two travel cards but there are a couple more that I have my eye on, and even with higher AFs I think the benefits could outweigh the cost but I'd like to hear from people who actually have several of these cards, as opposed to straight cash back rewards cards. Thanks in advance for your input!

you can have many as you like, but each should have a reason to be in your wallet.If they have no reason to be in your wallet look at PC'ing to at least have 0 AF or combining limits and moving them out My Venture card is in my wallet because they gave me $400 to be in my wallet. Long term venture will not last, becasue even though its 2pts/$ spent. 46,000 points. While on the other hand, I have a CSP which is 2% on travel and resturants and other benefits when I shop via the rewards mall and a 20% bonus rewards when I redeem for travel and I can transfer points to airlines and other travel programs. Currently $380 in rewards balance sitting I also have a AMEX Delta card that gave me 40,000 rewards points. once again the card will be PC'd, in that I really don't want to fly delta but hey if you going to throw money at me, I will take your card. 45k pts sitting on the card My last card is a Hilton Honors Surpass, they through points at me, which I have used and thanks to work I ended up traveling a great deal for work, and ended up being Hilton Honors Diamond memeber so I am keeping this card, I enjoy getting 12pts/$ on Hilton stays. My wife liks staying in hotelsfrom time to time, so I will keep this card. 125,000 pts. So all these cards have a reason to sit in my wallet currently will they stay in my wallet in the curent form, mostly no, they will be murced to other cards or PC'd.But they gave me the ability to have another 5 days in california on points for just signing up for these cards and paying the AF, $300 in AF for 5 days in a trip to California is a great deal including flight for 2 people, rental car, 5 days in embasy suites.

How many gift cards can i redeem,

my account says to many gift cards associated with account

The NI-DAQ driver does not specify or restrict how many PCI cards can be placed on the PCI bus. Keep in mind the PCI bus limitations and how much bandwidth your application may use if many devices are connected and functioning at the same time.
I would strongly suggest PXI for this application.

How Many Chase Cards Do You Have?

I'm about to max out the maximum 5% cash back on my Discover card for dinning this quarter and was thinking about going for the Chase Freedom card.. Question is.. How many Chase cards do you have? I have: CSP - 25k CLAmazon Rewards - 7k CLUnited Mileage Explorer - 32,000k CL I'm not sure how they treat partner cards like Amazon and United in relation to determining the total number of cards or overall credit risk you pose. I was thinking maybe I'll apply and then if denied I'll call and see If I can move around some CLs or even close Amazon..

G4 quicksilver dual 1ghz: how many video cards can i install?

i've kept this great old machine on the shelf, now i've found a use for it! i've been programming video installations for theatre using isadora (on more modern machines) and would love to utilize my old G4. currently installed is the stock card with a VGA and an ADC output, and i've run 2 monitors off it in the past. i'd like to run my ADC powered 17" studio display (control screen) plus at least 2,3 or more video projectors, so i'd like to install an additional video card(s). ideally VGA or DVI, but s-video or even component could work- it doesn't need to be high definition. can this machine handle it, and if so, recommendations for a good card, or multiple cards? i have several open slots, how many is feasable to stack in there?
thanks y'all!

Remember that video cards use the most power of any PCI cards. There is usually a finite limit to how much power the computer's PCI bus can provide.
I don't know the limimts on the QS, but the old Beige G3s has a limit of 45W total across three slots--I doubt it's a lot more on yours. The assumption back then was that most PCI vidcards then drew 25W. Unlike newer cards that have power "taps" top allow direct connection to the power supply, older PCI vidcards seldom had this convenience. I have a radeon 9200 and it does not.
The 9200 had a lot of VRAM but did not support Apple's Quartz Extreme video technology. Although great for 3D stuff, its 2D performance in OSX was dismal, with scrolling and dragging being choppy. You do not want that card as you primary video source on a computer with AGP graphics. There was a hack to get around the QE issue but it seldom worked without issue if you had more that one PCI card of any kind.

How many credit cards needed to build credit?

I currently have a 586 Fico score and here's what is helping me build:
Capital One Classic Platinum $300 CL enrolled in the STEPS program.
Capital One Quicksilver Mastercard $500 CL enrolled in the STEPS program
Fingerhut credit account $300 CL
Victorias Secret $250 CL
Is this enough to build with or should I apply for another credit card?
BTW I also have a car loan, was late 7 months ago, but I haven't been late since the beginning of 2015. I also have student loans that are current and never late.

I raised my kids as a single parent and didn't feel I could afford to to use credit so I didn't other that my car payments. Now married and kids are gone so I really want a home of our own. I'm trying to build credit and have two credit cards that I've obtained in the last 3-4 months. Not having a habit of using them, I really don't except enough to show I use it, I have a 1500 limit on one and a 800 limit on the other one, but I keep the owed amount at 25.00 combined and pay it off as soon as it reports to the bureau. My question is, I keep reading that most people have about 7 cards. Would I build credit faster if I had more, or can I achieve the same thing with two? 3-4 cards will be enough to build credit on. is all about ultilization at the end and not how many cards you have.

How many times card is removed from terminals

I wanna count the card removal attack in an environment which a card reader has a java card and there are some card removıng attack. It should be asynchrous to detect the removıng. Is there any body having info about this?

Thanks, Bob.
No, I wasn't planning on doing this as a backup plan, or even doing many times. Just wanted to do a new install on my iMac, and wanted to know if I can install on my MacBook Pro now, and then uninstall it from that MacBook Pro next year so that I can install it on a new notebook. By the way, how can Adobe afford to allow people to download as many times as they want? How can they control it then?

How many DSA Cards can be simultaneously Self Calibrated?

I have two PXI-1045 chassises connected to a single computer via a dual port MXI Express card.
Each of the two chassises have 12 PXI-4462 4 channel DSA cards.
I am using the "DAQmx Self Calibrate.vi", which takes about 156 seconds.
It appears that if place 24 of these DAQmx Self Calibrate VIs on my block diagram,
then it appears that 4 will finish after 156 seconds, then another 4 will finish after
another 156 seconds, and so on, until all are finished after a total of 936 seconds.
I have found that 1, 2, 3, or 4 can be simultaneously self calibrated, but more than that requires additional time for each group of 4.
So my question is, is it possible to sell calibrate more than 4 at once?
My computer is a quad core, but I don't think this is the limiting factor.
Could it rather be some other resource, such as Triggers on the PXI bus, that are the limiting factor?

Hey Kevin,
The problem you are running into is likely caused by the fact that LabVIEW allocates a default of 4 threads per priority per execution system. DAQmx VIs by default run at the same priority and execution system as their caller (despite the existence of a "DAQ" execution system), so they are probably running at normal/standard:
While a .dll is being called by LabVIEW the thread is reserved. So, 4 parallel calls to DAQmx Self Calibrate.vi (which call into nilvaiu.dll inside the subVI) will reserve all 4 threads that LabVIEW has allocated to the normal/standard priority and execution system.
To raise the number of threads that LabVIEW allocates, add the line "ESys.Normal=24" or whatever number you'd like to LabVIEW.ini. You might also have to run threadconfig.vi (instructions found here). The end result should look like this when you run threadconfig.vi (you'll have to restart LabVIEW after editing the .ini file):
You could technically just use threadconfig.vi to set the number of threads without manually editing the .ini file, but this only lets you allocate up to 8 threads per execution system per priority. The number shown in < > is two higher than the actual number of threads allocated due to how the enum was defined in the vi.

John Passiak

Windows 10 thinks 2 graphic cards = projector

Lenovo IdeaPad P580, Windows 10
> All the drivers are up to date
When I boot, the screen stays black but displays the pointer. That's because Windows 10 believes a second graphic card is like a projector, so the image is "sent" to a non-existent other screen. With Windows + P, this can be solved, but this is very annoying. Isn't there some sort of workaround ?

Hi Gary!
How many graphic cards and monitors are you using with FCP?
It would be nice to have two X1900 but it's not possible with current architecture :\
OK a would buy another ATI card but I think it's hard to find any other than X1900 for MacPro's

How many memory slots on latest iMac?

Thinking of purchasing iMac 27", 3.4; i5. From what I understand, the memory card access point is in the back, therefore easy to upgrade. How many memory card slots are there? Also, it is recommended at 32 max. Has anyone tried to up that to 64, and if so, any issues. I do a lot of photography with Adobe.
Thank you in advance.

1. Four.
2. At this point, treat 32GB as being the limit.

512 MB or 1 GB graphic card memory for PS CS5?

To make use of acceleration by the GPU in Photoshop CS5 Extended, to what extent is the amount of graphic card memory needed influenced by the size of the image file?
I am aware of the stated 128MB minimum, "256 MB or more" recommendation for graphic card memory. And I'm aware that certain features only become available with at least 512 MB.
However, I'm not at all clear how this works out in practice for moderately large image files.
A 1920 x 1200 display at 8 bits per color, 3 colors, only needs about 7 MB to display the screen, and that is independent of the size and resolution of the actual image being displayed. But considering now the image file, a square 120/220 film image scanned at 4000 dpi, 16 bits per color, will produce a file size of over 450 MB; a 4 x 5 inch color sheet film image scanned at 2400 dpi, 16 bits per color will be over 600 MB. I want capability for at least those two file sizes, and preferably greater.
In order to make full use of GPU hardware acceleration for Photoshop CS5 Extended, does the entire image file have to fit into the graphic card memory? (If so, is that calculated at 8 bits per color (the output to the screen), or at the 16 bits per color of the image file?). If not, are there any other guidelines as to how much graphic card memory is really needed or recommended?
Normally, I would just choose 512 MB or 1 GB, which appear to be the most common graphic card memory sizes for current consumer graphic cards. But I don't want to underspec. And I don't want to overspec either, because I need to maintain a dual boot with both 32-bit Vista and 64 bit W7, plus my BIOS doesn't appear to permit memory remapping, so graphic card memory will eat into overall DRAM space (presumably on both 32 and 64 bit Windows).
Thanks.

I am presently developing software using OpenGL and GPU acceleration. I have exceeded the capacity of texture memory on purpose, and what I saw was that the card/drivers degraded the image a little (e.g., pixels were doubled vertically). That happened only during a test when I was purposefully trying to exceed limits with more than 1 GB of texture data just to see what would happen.
I have a 1 GB ATI 4670, and in all the time I've actually just USED it with Photoshop - other than pushing limits with my own software on purpose - I've never seen any evidence whatsoever that the GPU memory had been used up.
From another perspective, given that a display contains only a few megapixels, and that Photoshop is substantially a 2D app, even if the display image data were to be kept in an outrageous double precision floating point format (which I don't think it is) it would be hard to imagine using up even close to a thousand megabytes, even with multiple monitors on task. Without knowing exactly what Photoshop does under the covers it would be hard to estimate with more certainty than just a wild guess, though.
Generally speaking, even a modest card like the one I have seems to accelerate anything Photoshop can throw at it smoothly (I don't use the 3D stuff in Photoshop, though myself as I don't have extended). Decent 1 GB cards aren't all that much more expensive...

MSI GX620 notebook graphics card upgrade (HELP)

Hello
first time sorry for my bad english.
I have a MSI GX620 laptop with a nv 9600th
I thought to myself that I have a ati hd4670 of replacements.
but unfortunately not boot the notebook with the video card.
the notebook starts, but only up to the hardware id consultation.
Give it a possibility to modify the bios that the card is detected?
ie the white list table expand.

There is no whitelist for the MSI gx620. This model supports many many graphics card.
There may be a problem with your 4670 card. You may want to update the laptop BIOS however to that of the gt627 or possibly gx623.
I recommend you return the graphics card to the seller you got it from. You can get a new heatsink for better Nvidia cards like this http://cgi.ebay.com/NVIDIA-quadro-FX-2700M-512MB-NB9E-GLM2-MXM-III-/270729976730?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3f08c39b9a which is like the 9700m GTS (good if not better) http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-Nvidia-Quadro-FX-3600M-MXM-512MB-Graphic-Card-/170612917606?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item27b9528566#ht_4888wt_1139 (like 9800m GTS, very good) http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-nVidia-Quadro-FX-3700M-1-GB-Video-Card-NEW-NB9E-GLM3-/370504497087?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item5643c9f7bf (the best, but will run HOT)
Or if you like ATI http://cgi.ebay.com/Alienware-M17-M15X-512MB-ATI-HD-3870-Master-Video-Card-/180661996018?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item2a104b49f2
The heatsink may be hard to get. I think I could get one for you tho, PM me if you're interested.

Graphics Cards compatible with 30" Cinema Display

I need to replace my graphics card in my MacPro. Display still works from other computers but it won't work from the MacPro any more.
There seem to be so many graphics cards around yet I am struggling to find a list of cards that ARE compatible with a MacPro/Cinema set up. Does anyone knoe where I can find this information?
Thanks
Alan

If you want it to work with OSX, it has to be a card make for the Mac Pro. PC graphics cards won't work with OSX.
<http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopmac/macaccessories/displays?mco=MTM3NTA0ODQ>
Despite what Apple says, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 will work with any Mac Pro, the other cards only with the 2008 or 2009 Mac Pro.

How to properly configure a graphics card for Adobe Premiere Pro, SpeedGrade, and After Effects?

Alright, so I have the following system configuration:
2 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970s
5960X CPU
MSI X99 Gaming 7 Motherboard
32 GB DDR4 RAM
256 GB and 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSDs
Basically, although I have the whole system built together, I'm unsure how to check and know whether or not Adobe Premiere Pro is actually using the graphics card or not. I know that it has to be using some of it, otherwise it wouldn't launch properly (as I discovered from a recent experience.) However, I don't know if there are, perhaps, certain settings within the NVIDIA control panel that should be configured so that Premiere Pro can use the card to its full potential. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
In other words, these are (I'm pretty sure) all of the default settings that the control panel applies to Premiere Pro. However, I'm not sure if there are any settings in here that I need to change or not. So what I'm looking for in a response to this question:
What settings, if any, should I change for Premiere Pro (as well as other adobe applications that can utilize all the strength of the GTX 970)?
How can I check the GPU activity to know that it's being used during a render? (For example, I can check the CPU utilization with the Task Manager while I render to see that it's being utilized to 100%).
If, perhaps, something else goes wrong and even with the right settings, let's say the card still isn't being fully utilized, what other settings might I have to change to make sure that the GTX 970 is being fully used by Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects/SpeedGrade CC 2014?

If you want a benchmark to measure the performance of Premiere Pro's utilization of your: disk system, GPU and CPU use our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM)
When you finish running the test and then run the script, you will get this report
This happens to be the result of my laptop (with SSD drives and a GTX 765M GPU)
The disk performance is self explanatory.
Number 2 is a seven layer very complex timeline with heavy CPU and GPU assistance, without GPU hardware acceleration (CPU only) it would take greater than 1350 seconds.
Three above is a measure of a exaggerated timeline using many, many GPU MPE accelerated effects and features that will use a GPU at 99% load (54 seconds above) and a CPU only export of the same timeline (802 seconds).
If you want to compare your results to others you have to register on the PPBM7 site to see the results.
EDIT! I corrected the number in 2 above originally I said 900 seconds but really it was greater than 1350 seconds
